Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ long anticipated Global Showcase Rarities Night session drew record bids from collectors around the world, ultimately realizing a total of over $19 million on August 13, 2024. Specialists in United States coins vied for the rarest and finest coins crossing the block as part of the firm’s August auction, presented as an event auctioneer partner for the ANA World’s Fair of Money, the largest numismatic convention of the year.
More than a dozen named collections were featured, including the Cold Spring Harbor Type Set, the Great Pacific Collection, The Tom Hyland Collection, the Knohl Collection, the PentaMint™ Collection, the Senator Platt Family Collection, the Reich Family Collection, the Lucius S. Ruder Collection, the Srotag Collection, and the Walden Collection. The 551-lot session garnered strong activity from beginning to end, and records were shattered as the hammer fell on many of the lots.
“Enthusiasm in the coin hobby remains extremely strong across all collecting specialties as evidenced by the number of price records realized in our Rarities Night event,” said Brian Kendrella, President of Stack’s Bowers Galleries. “Collectors remain eager to add to their holdings and bid aggressively when items of interest crossed the block.”
Leading the way was lot 3319, the Proof 1825/4/1 half eagle from the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection, now with Collectible Market Qualified (CMQ) approval, that sold for $1,080,000.
